We spent the first half of the day at the storage place, going though our belongings, separating Audrey's things from ours and then pulling out the "keep" items from the "toss" items. After a few hours, we decided the most practical thing to do was to rent a U-Haul truck and take everything back to Audrey's in Montana, to finish our sorting and then build the shipping crates needed to send our things back to Alaska.
We left La Junta around 2:30 pm and drove the 246 miles to Wellington, where we spent the night before continuing on to Roundup MT the next day. Rog drove the U-Haul, while I followed behind in the rental car.

Success!
